Write something that has the 'feel' of a nursery rhyme
Do we have 'new' nursery rhymes? I wrote some pieces 'based on' nursery rhymes about 20 years ago. I've added them as examples.
Hickery Dickery Mockery
Hickery Dickery digital clock
The mouse fell in and was cooked on the wok
The cook cooked on ’til the mouse was done

Hickery Dickery midgetal mock
The mouse ran up a smelly old sock
The smell clung on ’til the breath was gone

Hickery Dickery budgetal block
The mouse was dressed in a young lady’s frock
The dress hooked on and the mouse had fun

Hickery Dickery mickery mock

The goods were free, so the mouse took one
